OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
About Us:
Highland Woods Kids Playhouse is a licensed home daycare and preschool in Silver Spring, MD. I’m the owner of this bilingual Spanish daycare and I run my program with my full-time assistant. I’m a professional caregiver with a decade of child care and early childhood education experience, and my assistant has 8 years of experience. We’re both moms and we’re CPR & First-aid certified, as well M.A.T trained (so if needed, we can administer medication to all children in our care). We also both hold a Child Development Associate’s Degree.
Curriculum:
We use the Creative Curriculum and offer various engaging educational activities such as Arts & Crafts, Music, etc. We want our little students to learn through play and fun, creative activities so that they're happy while learning and growing in our care. Our daycare is a bilingual Spanish program, so we teach our students the Spanish language. This is an amazing opportunity for your child to learn a second language at a young age!
Program:
Our family child care program is open year-round from Monday to Friday, between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm. We provide full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 3 months, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. Our children are served with peanut-free lunch and snacks, and these are all included in the tuition.
Location:
Highland Woods Kids Playhouse is located in the Highland Woods neighborhood, near Kingswell in Silver Spring, MD. We’re right off Randolph Rd, close to Highland Elementary School and Glenmont Local Park. Your commute to work will be convenient since our facility has easy access to Veirs Mill Rd (route 586), Connecticut Ave (route 185) and Georgia Ave (route 97).
Please send us email or call to schedule a visit, we would love to meet your family. Through CareLuLu, we'll waive our usual registration fee :)

The owner and her team of caregivers have exceeded our expectations since day one and they continue to impress us week after week with their commitment to providing a welcoming and fun atmosphere for the kids. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have discovered this child care program and know our child is in great hands.

The caregiver is amazing! She creates a warm and nurturing environment where our child feels safe and happy. Her dedication, kindness, and professionalism are truly outstanding. We’ve seen incredible growth in our child’s development thanks to her engaging and educational activities. Communication is always clear and prompt. We highly recommend this Family Child Care to any parent looking for exceptional care.

When I say we LOVE this daycare, it is an understatement. Our son started when he was 5.5 months old and has loved it since his first day. The main provider and her assistant are both such kind and caring people. Our son, who is now 11 months old, has some food allergies and they have been so accommodating in taking precautions around food for him. Deciding to send your baby to daycare is a big decision and we could not trust this daycare more.... more

This Family Child Care Program is the best. My daughter has been with the child care since she was 2 months old and is now 3 years old, well trained, smart and developing excellently. The kids are very safe there and the caregivers are really exceptional.

We love this family daycare. Our daughter was 5 months old when she started and she has loved it ever since her first day. They do a great job mixing indoor and outdoor play. There are plenty of toys for them to play with independently as well as organized activities throughout the day. I really could not say enough good things about this daycare!
Response from the provider:
thank you

My daughter loves going to this daycare every day of the week. She is visibly happy when we arrive here, and as a parent it is comforting and reassuring to know that your child is excited about the day ahead. This daycare is simply a safe and happy place.

We are so grateful to have found this daycare. This daycare has been caring for our daughter since she was 4 months old and it has been an incredibly positive experience ever since. As a testament to that, we drive out of our way each morning to take our daughter to this daycare, where she leaps into this provider's arms as soon as we arrive. At this daycare, we know our daughter is safe, happy and well-fed from the moment we drop her off until... more

This is a phenomenal daycare provider and would recommend her to care for any child. The provider and her assistant teacher, show much care towards each child. My son looks forward to going to daycare and asks about his daycare providers on the weekends! Thanks to this provider, my son has good social skills and is helpful in the home! The caregivers do a great job engaging the children in a variety of activities. It is truly evident how much... more

The providers are amazing at what they do. It is already a difficult decision to send a child to daycare, and during a pandemic, it becomes more difficult. My wife and I liked the main provider as soon as we met her for the tour. The fact that she scheduled us after all the kids are gone was already a good sign to us.
She does an excellent job of cleaning the daycare, linens and the children. My son loves both providers. He is so happy when he... more

I am so happy my daughter is with this care provider! My 20month old is so confident and has started talking and expressing herself so much more since we switched to this daycare provider. This provider is very kind and I can tell she enjoys this work and genuinely cares about each child. She goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy and the parents are comfortable. Her home is spotless and the outdoor play area is PERFECT for little... more

Hi my fellow mommies! So this is my second review for this provider, and it is a complete must that I rest assure you, your child is in the hands of a God sent angel. This provider is one of the sweetest, most soft spoken and hearted people youll find in the daycare industry. My husband and I had to do a MAJOR move out of state, and because of this provider, we made a life changing decision to stay in the DMV area. The thought of moving away... more

I love this daycare. They love and treat the children as their own. They greet you each and everyday with a smile. My son just loves being with this provider each and everyday. His smiles every morning when I drop him off makes me feel confident that he's in good hands. I feel very confident leaving him in their care because I receive picture mail of the activities he does throughout the day. I can always call and get an answer when I want to... more

This child care is the second daycare we put our twin girls in since moving to DC. The choice to change was hard, but it ended up being the best decision we have made so far with the girls.
This provider and her assistant are phenomenal. I am not afraid to give praise when it is due, but these women treat our girls like family and we feel just as connected. While wholly professional, these "abuelas" deeply care about our family as a whole and... more

This provider cared for our two daughters from 2014-2017 and we absolutely adore her! She is dependable, attentive, and extremely loving. She was gentle, kind, and always interacting with the children – playing on the floor with them, reading lots of books, playing playdoh and other crafts, etc. She was wonderful about helping our baby learn to take naps, eat her first foods, and meet lots of other milestones. And as they got older, she kept the... more
